BACKROADS UTAH INC is a mid-size fleet operating out of SALT LAKE CITY, Utah with USDOT number 704553. The company operates 72 power units and holds a current FMCSA safety rating of Satisfactory. Based on our analysis of federal safety data, BACKROADS UTAH INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 59/100, classified as Elevated Risk.
BACKROADS UTAH INC has undergone 7 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 28.6%, which is above the national average of 20.72%. This elevated rate indicates potential maintenance or pre-trip inspection deficiencies that could lead to roadside violations. The driver out-of-service rate is 28.6%, above the national average of 5.51%. Common causes include hours-of-service violations, expired medical certificates, and CDL issues.
The public FMCSA record for BACKROADS UTAH INC carries 16 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated September 25, 2026. Across 7 recorded inspections, the record carries 4 driver out-of-service violations and 2 vehicle out-of-service violations.
A recorded violation is what an inspector wrote down at the roadside. It is not a penalty, and it is not an amount owed: FMCSA assesses civil penalties only after a compliance review classifies specific cited violations. The step that changes this record is the document behind each line, so the next move is to see which records an investigator would ask for and which of them exist today.
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for BACKROADS UTAH INC: the safety rating, the inspection pass rate and the out-of-service rate against the national average. It is not an FMCSA score, and FMCSA does not use it to choose carriers for an investigation. 59 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Elevated Risk band.
BACKROADS UTAH INC falls under the Western Service Center for FMCSA field-office oversight (region code 09). Service-center territory drives which FMCSA Investigator team would conduct a new-entrant audit or compliance review if one is triggered for this carrier.
BACKROADS UTAH INC is classified by FMCSA as an interstate carrier.
The carrier holds an Private Property;Private Passenger, Business;Private Passenger, Non-Business;Authorized For Hire classification, meaning it transports cargo or passengers for compensation under FMCSA operating authority and is subject to MC-number requirements at 49 CFR Part 365.
Business organization type: Corporation.
BACKROADS UTAH INC is not flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazmat carrier (HM indicator: N), so the carrier is not subject to the additional 49 CFR Subchapter C hazmat regulations.
Operational range per MCS-150 filing: interstate beyond 100 miles (long-haul, 78 drivers). The 100-mile boundary matters because drivers operating within a 100-air-mile radius qualify for the short-haul exception under 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1), which removes the requirement to maintain RODS for the day.
Self-reported MCS-150 annual mileage: 1,308,900 miles. MCS-150 mileage feeds the FMCSA SafeStat exposure denominator: drastically understated mileage can artificially inflate CSA BASIC percentile scores by reducing the per-mile exposure baseline. Updates are required every 24 months under 49 CFR 390.19.
Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 70 trailers. Owned-vs-leased equipment matters for compliance documentation, owned trailers require the carrier to retain annual inspection certificates under 49 CFR 396.17, while leased trailers shift that documentation responsibility to the lease agreement.
Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Camping Equipment. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).
Inspections cluster geographically across California (5), Vermont (1), Idaho (1). The concentration in California is consistent with the carrier's primary lanes and tends to correlate with which state DOT inspector teams BACKROADS UTAH INC's drivers encounter most often at roadside checkpoints.
Across the 7 recorded inspections, BACKROADS UTAH INC's 28.6% vehicle out-of-service rate sits moderately above the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 28.6% driver out-of-service rate sits substantially above the 2024 national average of 5.51%.
